Well this was a horse of a different color. I am glad I tried this technique but not sure I will do it again. Once you made a stencil from a die (in this case some leaves) and emboss it, you then use a selection of differnt embossing powders and let it dry. I heated it up when I thought the past was dry, it did bubble in a few places where it was still wet. When it was said and done, it felt like a rubber embellishment. At first it was on white cardstock, but I really did not like that and cut the leaves out and placed on some Autumn paper from We R Memory Keepers. To give it veins, I just used a brown slick writer on the leaves.
